I just bought my first electric razor. Been shaving for 30+ years,
always had to be careful to avoid "burn" or small spot irritation,
so I always figured that electric would be trouble. But, I decided
to take the plunge and bought a Remington 3 head, titanium (ooh,
light) electric.So, here's my problem: It was outstanding in the heavily bearded area.
Better than any blade. Easy, comforting, like a massage. So fine.
But, in the soft skin very lightly whiskered areas it gave me some
moderately bad irritation in large patches 15 or 20 minutes after
shaving.
I have found that Nair is more effective and less painful than any other
method. The issue with electric or blade shaving is having to repeat it
so often, and waxing is supposed to be pretty painful. So if Nair works,
that will properly cover a cyclist's depilation needs.
Oh wait. You're shaving your face.
That's not right. the tradition is to leave a "full mask" on race day.
Only the legs should be clean and shiny.
